    Just a shout out to Tim and the crew on a fantastic restoration and upgrade to my worn out Pre 64 Model 70 220 Swift.
    Barrel replaced with a Shilen, stock refinished, checkering recut, pillar and glass bedded, trigger job that is perfect, not too light,not too heavy and breaks like a glass rod, real nice Cerakote finish on all the metal.
    Modern upgrades with great classic looks.
    Thanks a bunch Tim and crew.

    Too much plastic these days.

    I'm with ya on that. Love the look of a nice grainy wood stock. I personally cannot own one, it seems I have the ability to scratch the heck outta my wood guns just by putting them in the safe. Every time I pull it from the safe there's another mystery gouge in it. Still love the look and feel of them though.

    Nice work, love seeing that. Even if I am a serial stock abuser :sad20:

    Thanks for everyone's comments,appreciated. As far as what color Cerakote I am not sure, hopefully Tim sees this and will let us know, he sure picked the right one for this rifle, the original receiver finish was a matt finish pretty close to this.
    One thing I forgot to mention is that Hafer's also kept to their original time estimate of 6 to 8 months which is a very good time for the amount of work performed.
